TORONTO -- Four Blue Jays remain in the running for spots in the 2017 MLB All-Star Game presented by MasterCard in Miami on Tuesday, July 11, but they've all got some ground to make up before voting closes on June 29.
In the latest update of the Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot that was released on Tuesday, third baseman Josh Donaldson ranks fourth at his position with 527,680 votes. Donaldson trails Miguel Sano (1,010,060), Jose Ramirez (697,747),and Manny Machado (677,925), but he has posted a 1.146 OPS with six home runs in 14 games since returning from the disabled list in late May.

Troy Tulowitzki ranks fifth among American League shortstops with 354,732 votes. Like Donaldson, Tulowitzki's first half has been shortened by injury as he's appeared in just 30 games.
Both Jose Bautista and Kevin Pillar held their rank among AL outfielders. Bautista sits 10th with 518,585, while Pillar remains 15th with 376,843. Yankees slugging right fielder Aaron Judge leads all AL players with 1,893,260 votes, followed closely by Michael Trout of the Angels (1,582,782) and Jose Altuve of the Astros (1,615,938).
One notable omission for the Blue Jays is Justin Smoak, who is enjoying a breakout season at age 30 with 18 home runs, already two shy of his career high. Smoak leads all AL first basemen in home runs and RBIs (43) entering play on Tuesday, and he ranks second behind Oakland's Yonder Alonso with a .956 OPS. The tight first-base vote currently consists of Alonso (651,055), Detroit's Jose Cabrera (646,598), Kansas City's Eric Hosmer (626,783), Cleveland's Carlos Santana (558,320) and Houston's Yuli Gurriel (529,887).
